"I really donated it, why don't you believe me?" Li Yang said helplessly, "That jade token is a witness to history. If you were an appraiser, you would understand its value, and you should know that such things are not allowed to be sold privately."
"Young man, what you say is true, but in the antique world, how many people really take things seriously? Who would not want to earn the money in hand?"
"If that jade token were put on the auction market, it could fetch at least twenty to thirty million. Are you really willing to donate it?"
The old man stroked his beard with a sly smile. "Young man, I can offer you ten million privately, which is already very high. You are so noble and righteous, you wouldn't take it to the black market for auction, right? So it's worthless in your hands."
"Why not sell it to me? I will make it realize its maximum value."
"Is that so? Since you say so, then I can consider selling it to you."
Seeing his persistence, Li Yang suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't you pay me a deposit first, say three million, and I'll see your strength."
"So you don't switch it after seeing it, or damage it, causing me huge losses."
"Young people are sensible. It's no problem to pay you a deposit in advance, but I have to see the item first!" The old man was not a fool, and would not transfer money without seeing anything.
Li Yang smiled and took out a red cloth bag from his body, gradually untying it. A hint of green was revealed inside, and he quickly closed it, smiling, "The item is in here. You pay me first, and I'll let you see it immediately."
"Young man, I haven't seen the item yet," the old man said unhappily.
"Didn't I show you part of it just now? Although you only saw a part of it, you have to pay to see the rest. Who knows if you'll snatch my item and run away?" Li Yang continued.
"Alright, I'll pay you first!" After a moment of hesitation, the old man finally agreed, actively scanned the code, and paid Li Yang a three million deposit.
After receiving the money, Li Yang handed him the red cloth bag from his body and said, "Senior, this is a voluntary transaction between us. You know the nature of it. Don't come to trouble me in the future."
"Don't worry, if the item is fine, I definitely won't bother you." The old man nodded cheerfully and excitedly began to untie the red cloth bag.
When he untied it, he saw that inside the red cloth bag was only a small piece of jadeite. Although it was imperial green, such a small piece was worth at most tens of thousands of yuan. He searched it all over, and the jade token he wanted was not there. Only then did he realize he had been tricked!
But when he came to his senses and looked at Li Yang again, Li Yang had already gotten into his car and disappeared without a trace!
"Damn it, you brat, how dare you trick me!" The old man's face turned red with anger, and he angrily threw the jadeite in his hand to the ground.
He looked in the direction Li Yang had gone, clenched his fists, and said, "Brat, you dare to deceive me, I will definitely find you and make sure you can't get by in Jiangcheng!" With that, he also chased in the direction Li Yang had left! He vowed to catch up to Li Yang! Today he lost three million, but he couldn't report it to the police, after all, he was trying to buy cultural relics. If he was tricked, he could only consider himself unlucky. It was precisely because of this that Li Yang did not hesitate to trick him out of his money.
Now Li Yang was leisurely driving to Shuixiang's shop, with a look of joy on his face! He never expected that old fellow to be so easily fooled. He originally just wanted to tell him that he had donated the jade token, but he didn't expect him to be so persistent. So he couldn't blame others for ripping him off!
Meanwhile, in a manor in Beizhou. He Ling, who had just been beaten, quickly brought his disciples to this manor to meet his master. His martial arts were taught by the Wind Wheel King of Beizhou, who was a master in the late stage of Grandmaster and one of the four great masters in the martial arts world of Beizhou.
He Ling, with his injuries, came before him. He hurriedly stepped forward, helped He Ling up, and asked, "Young Master He, what happened to you? Who beat you like this?"
"Master, it was a kid from Jiangcheng. He stole my woman and beat me severely. You must avenge me!" He Ling said, clutching his chest and enduring the pain.
"Jiangcheng? I didn't expect such a master in the small Jiangcheng, and he dares to beat my disciple, Wind Wheel King. He's truly audacious!" Wind Wheel King's eyebrows flashed with killing intent. Everyone in the room immediately felt a powerful deterrence and anger, and immediately lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.
He Ling frowned and said, "Yes, Master. That kid not only beat me, but also insulted you for your poor martial arts, saying that what kind of master you have, you have what kind of trash disciple!"
"What? Did that kid really say that?" Hearing this, Wind Wheel King's eyes became even more murderous!
"Yes, that kid is incredibly arrogant and doesn't put you in his eyes at all. If you see him, you must make sure he has no chance to survive!" He Ling said, clenching his fists.
"Don't worry, with what he said, I will not give him a chance to escape when I see him." Wind Wheel King said majestically. Then, he immediately dispatched one of his four protectors, Zhuifeng, and said coldly, "Zhuifeng, go immediately and find that kid's whereabouts, and investigate his identity."
"After getting his identity, report to me immediately."
"Yes, Master, I will complete the mission!" Zhuifeng responded respectfully, turned around, and his figure turned into a gust of wind, disappearing instantly! He Ling now had a cold smile on his face, thinking to himself: Li Yang, you dare to offend me, I will let you know how powerful my master is! As long as my master takes action, you brat will not be able to get by in Jiangcheng!
"Wow, is that true? Li Yang, you're actually that awesome?" After Li Yang returned to Shuixiang's gambling stone city, he personally told her about tricking the old man. Shuixiang laughed excitedly.
"Of course it's true. That old guy actually believed me. He must be furious now, and he doesn't dare to report it to the police, so he can only lose three million for nothing," Li Yang said arrogantly.
"You're really a clever ghost. But do you know that guy's identity? Someone who can casually spend three million, I'm worried his identity is unusual. Are you okay after tricking him?" Shuixiang asked worriedly.
"Who cares? Anyway, he gave me the money voluntarily. If he dares to retaliate, I don't mind fooling him again. He's not very smart anyway," Li Yang said dismissively.
"Sister Shui, something bad has happened! Someone is causing trouble at our shop outside!" Just as Shuixiang and Li Yang were chatting happily, a subordinate suddenly ran in and reported to Shuixiang in a panic.
